Teams involved in the league are primarily made up of youth players from the S.League clubs. The Prime League was founded in 1997. S.League clubs are required to participate, and clubs who do not play at S.League level are also eligible to enter. In 2018, the Prime League was abolished, with the [National Football League](/source/Singapore_National_Football_League) (NFL) installed as the second-tier competition.[1] ## Participation rules All S.League teams had to register a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 20 players for the Prime League. Clubs not participating in the S. League had to register a minimum of 15 and a maximum of 25 players. The teams should maintain the minimum required number of players throughout the season. Each club was allowed to register 1 foreign player for their Prime League teams. The foreign players must have been aged between 18 and 21 at the point of registration and are not eligible to play in the S.League. An S.League player who had played in his club's most recent S.League match was not eligible to play in the club's next Prime League match. Prime League sides were also allowed to take part in the FA Cup competition. ## Past champions Year Champions Runners-up 1997 Singapore Armed Forces Balestier Khalsa 1998 Geylang United Home United 1999 Singapore Armed Forces Home United 2000 Singapore Armed Forces Home United 2001 Home United Singapore Armed Forces 2002 Home United Singapore Armed Forces 2003 Home United Sinchi FC 2004 Home United Singapore Armed Forces 2005 Sinchi FC Geylang United 2006 Geylang United Singapore Armed Forces 2007 Singapore Armed Forces Tampines Rovers 2008 NFA U-18 Gombak United 2009 Home United Tampines Rovers 2010 NFA U-18 Home United 2011 Geylang United Gombak United 2012 Balestier Khalsa NFA U-18 2013 Balestier Khalsa Home United 2014 Home United Geylang International 2015 Tampines Rovers NFA U-18 2016 Home United Warriors FC 2017 Home United Hougang United ### Performance by Clubs Club Winners Runners-up Winning years Home United 8 5 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2009, 2014, 2016, 2017 Warriors FC 4 5 1997, 1999, 2000, 2007 Geylang International 3 2 1998, 2006, 2011 NFA U-18 2 2 2008, 2010 Balestier Khalsa 2 1 2012, 2013 Tampines Rovers 1 2 2015 Sinchi FC 1 1 2005 Gombak United 0 2 Hougang United 0 1 ## See also - [Singapore Premier League](/source/Singapore_Premier_League) - [Singapore Cup](/source/Singapore_Cup) - [Singapore League Cup](/source/Singapore_League_Cup) - [Singapore FA Cup](/source/Singapore_FA_Cup) - [Singapore Community Shield](/source/Singapore_Community_Shield) - [List of football clubs in Singapore](/source/List_of_football_clubs_in_Singapore) ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-1)** ["Young footballers to take centrestage in revamped 2018 S-League"](https://www.todayonline.com/singapore/young-footballers-take-centrestage-revamped-2018-s-league). *TODAY*.
